The Act

[Soubriquet]

Has anyone seen this? I’m shocked that this crazy woman managed to get away with her behaviour as long as she did. Poor Gypsy being forced to go through all those needless operations.

I wonder how she will be when she gets released in 2024

Bump

What Channel and what's the general plot?

Yes I watched it on prime on stars play I think.

My mouth was open the whole time in shock.

So sad.

It's about a mother who pretends her daughter has a lot of different conditions and illnesses.

She goes through so much for nothing. The daughter.

I won't tell you anymore it will ruin it for you but it's incredibly sad and equally unbelievable. Yet it's a true story. It's worth watching. It is very sad though.

That sounds familiar, is it about Gypsy Rose Lee(?) and her mother?

Yes!! I've seen this. I think I binged it all in one go last year. Really is unbelievable except it isn't because it's the truth.

Where can I watch this?

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor yes it is

Yes it was a great watch and so shocking

It's really shocking.

@1940s
I think it could be on Amazon prime. I watched it on starz but I think it was through Amazon or something.

I watched it on Starzplay, they usually do an introductory offer.

Is it a drama series? If it is the documentary will be 10x more shocking, really rattled me and I'm hard as nails usually!

It’s a drama series yes. I watched on Amazon with the free trial you get for starz play

Really worth a watch

What are you watching now op?

Nothing at the moment. My wifi is down so I’m binging supernatural on dvd

It was really well done

Yes, there are a couple of good documentaries on YouTube too, I think one may be called Gypsys Revenge?
Crazy story
